Professional Reviews:

"...a meditation on how seemingly ordinary objects can serve as a link to past events and absent loved ones in the wake of catastrophic events...The film concludes that without such objects, the stories they represent would lack vibrancy, and that without the stories, the objects would lack significance. Objects and Memory is a moving exploration of how the two conjoin." - Associated Press

"Thoughtful, engaging, poignant, evocative. An excellent resource." - The Journal of American History
